Software
Consulting

Before you build, modernise, or transform — you need a clear picture of where you are and where to go. Yameo's consulting practice gives CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and digital leaders independent technical guidance backed by 21 years of building in regulated environments.

Six consulting deliverables.
Each one actionable.

Every engagement is scoped to your situation. These are the core deliverables we provide — not slide decks, but working documents you can hand to your team tomorrow.

01

Architecture Review

Independent assessment of your current system: what's solid, what's fragile, and what needs to change. We document it clearly, with evidence.

02

Technology Roadmap

A 12–36 month plan aligned to your business goals and compliance requirements. Sequenced, costed, and ready to present to your board or CTO.

03

AI Readiness Assessment

Where AI can accelerate your engineering, and where it introduces risk. An honest evaluation of your data, infrastructure, and team readiness.

04

Build vs. Buy Analysis

Objective evaluation: what to build in-house, what to licence from a vendor, and what to outsource. Grounded in TCO, not vendor preferences.

05

Vendor Assessment

Independent review of technology vendor proposals and contracts. We've seen the patterns — and we'll tell you what the small print actually means.

06

CTO Advisory

Ongoing technical leadership support for businesses without in-house CTO capability. Strategic guidance available on a retained or per-project basis.

From kickoff to roadmap
in under four weeks.

A structured consulting process that respects your time. We move quickly because we've done this before — across banking, insurance, healthcare, and government.

1

Kickoff & Context

We align on scope, access requirements, and key stakeholders. You introduce us to the system; we tell you exactly what we'll produce and when.

AI assists: stakeholder interview synthesis, document ingestion, prior-art analysis across 200+ past engagements
2

Current-State Audit

We review architecture diagrams, codebases, infrastructure configs, compliance documentation, and incident history. No assumptions — only evidence.

AI assists: automated code pattern analysis, dependency mapping, security vulnerability scanning, compliance gap detection
3

Gap Analysis

We map the delta between where you are and where you need to be — technically, operationally, and from a compliance perspective.

AI assists: risk scoring, cost modelling, regulatory requirement cross-referencing, benchmarking against industry peers
4

Recommendations

A prioritised list of actions, ranked by impact and effort. Each recommendation is specific, scoped, and accompanied by a rationale you can use to get internal buy-in.

AI assists: effort estimation, dependency ordering, impact simulation, alternative scenario modelling
5

Roadmap

A time-phased delivery plan, budget indicatives, and team requirements. Formatted for your board, your engineering team, or both.

AI assists: milestone sequencing, resource modelling, risk-adjusted timeline generation, executive summary drafting
6

Optional: Implementation Support

Yameo can move from consulting into execution on any of the recommended initiatives — on a fixed-price basis, with the same team who wrote the recommendations.

AI assists: handover documentation, sprint planning preparation, team onboarding acceleration

Advice from engineers,
not analysts.

Most consulting firms advise on systems they've never built. Our consultants have 21 years of hands-on engineering experience in the industries you operate in.

Independent advice

We have no vendor relationships to protect, no platform to sell, and no technology preference to push. Our only interest is giving you an accurate picture of your situation.

21 years building, not just advising

We've shipped 200+ systems in banking, insurance, healthcare, and government. When we identify a risk, it's because we've seen that exact failure mode before — and fixed it.

Practical recommendations

No theoretical frameworks that look good in a slide deck and collapse on contact with your engineering team. Our recommendations are grounded in what's actually buildable with your constraints.

Delivered in weeks, not quarters

AI-augmented analysis means we complete in days what traditionally takes months. You get a full architecture audit and roadmap within two to four weeks of kickoff.
